It is not an army that we must shape and train for war;it is a nation.... The whole nation must be a team in whicheach man shall play the part for which he is best fitted....Each man shall be classified for service in the place towhich it shall best serve the general good to call him....The significance of this cannot be overstated. It is a newthing in our history and a landmark in our progress. It isa new manner of accepting and vitalizing our duty to giveourselves with thoughtful devotion to the common purpose ofus all.—Woodrow Wilson, Proclamation, May 18, 1917ivv
